'I never properly considered wellness from all angles,' she said of her transformation.

'But I was turning 40 and thinking about freezing my eggs, and the experts told me that the healthier I am, the better the process can go.'

Rebel admitted she sometimes gets emotional when she thinks about why she didn't place more importance on her health earlier.

'It just wasn't a priority, and I didn't know how to do it right,' she said.

She has also incorporated healthier eating habits, with an emphasis on nutritious, high-protein foods.

'The goal was never to be skinny,' she said. 'It was never to fit into a certain dress size. I put in a weight because I needed some tangible thing.' 

Rebel continued: 'What I'm proud of myself is doing that and having a lot more balance now in my life.'
